Which 6th Amendment right is described as subpoena witnesses?

Compulsory Process (subpoena witnesses)

Compulsory Process lets a defendant compel the attendance of witnesses in their favor through subpoenas. This ensures the defense can present testimony that might exonerate or mitigate guilt, even if those witnesses wouldn’t volunteer to appear. The court can enforce subpoenas with penalties to secure attendance, subject to relevance and admissibility. This stands apart from the right to a jury, the speedy-trial guarantee, and the right to confront witnesses, which cover other aspects of a fair trial.
